“Sure –Shot”
$37 Adults * $30 Child.
Rafting on Clear Creek River’s mountain water is an experience that’s fun for the whole family. Get ready for some fun on our exciting ‘Sure Shot’ beginner-rafting trip. Begin with passing by the historic Charlie Taylor Water Wheel experiencing Class II rapids (ripples). While rafting through Historic Idaho Springs the Class III rapids of Castle Falls and Argo Holes test your newly developed rafting skills. Below town history and nature abound, with the occasional sighting of Retail Hawk, Deer, Fox, Bob Cat, Lynx, Elk, and Big Horn Sheep. Dizzy Lizzy, Power Line, Mountain Lion, and Box prepare us for the grand finale of Mr. Twister! The perfect beginner—starting with Class II water so you can practice, and then the Class III rapids. There is a 50 pound minimum for rafting to insure proper fit of the life jacket. Allow 3 hours for the trip.

“Blast” (Intermediate Half Day)
$47 Adults
Perhaps you’ve already been there and done that, and are looking for something more. Most folks who paddle the Blast weren’t expecting some of Colorado’s most consistent whitewater, and cone back for more! With five solid class IV rapids and more class three whitewater than we have space to mention, the Blast is waiting for those with good physical conditioning and an attitude for adventure. If you are active in your daily life the 'Blast' is the trip for you. Allow 3 hours for the trip.
Minimum age 15

Evening Rafting Trips
Mile Hi Rafting is happy to continue our tradition of running evening trips to accommodate those wishing to fill their whitewater itch, but have jobs during the daytime hours. Our evening trips start after 5:00pm, with your choice of the Sure-Shot or Blast at the same great price as our daytime trips. So grab a buddy, co-worker, or the whole office and come on up for some whitewater fun after work.

“Kamikaze” (Advanced Half Day)
$57 Adults
One of our former guests refers to this trip as “the best darn whitewater around!”, and after braving the rapids of the Kamikaze trip you’ll understand why. Add another two miles of continuous (and we aren’t kidding!) class IV/III whitewater onto the Blast and you have an adventure that will bring you back over and over. If you’re on your toes you might have time to enjoy the scenery of the Front Range before you dive into your next rapid. Previous experience and the ability to swim is highly recommended. Allow 3 hours for the trip.
Minimum age 16

“Ultimo” (Advanced Full Day)
$87 Adults
This is the most consistent whitewater available on the Front Range, and almost the state. If action is what you are after then this is for you. We start off at our office on the banks of Clear
Creek above the town of Lawson. Begin your day reveling in all the excitement of the Kamikaze, and then enjoy a tasty lunch prepared on the spot by your guides. Continuing downstream, please digest your lunch before plunging into the awesome class IV rapids of the Lower Canyon, including Ejector, Double Knife, Deep Hell, and Terminator, just to name a few. An adventure for the brave of heart! Be prepared for a workout.
Minimum age 15
